The benefits of burning something pure, local, and intentional

If you’ve ever wondered why beeswax candles are different, or why Slow Burn is committed to working exclusively with them, here’s what makes this wax so special:

Clean and Non-Toxic

Beeswax is the only candle wax that doesn’t require additives, stabilizers, or synthetic fragrance. When burned with a trimmed wick, it produces very little smoke or soot. It’s a cleaner choice for your lungs, your space, and your family.

Longer, Slower Burn

Because beeswax is naturally dense, it burns more slowly than soy or paraffin. That means your candles last longer and drip less when kept in a draft-free setting.

Naturally Scented

Beeswax carries a subtle honey-like scent, all on its own. No need to add anything. The result is a warm, cozy aroma that won’t clash with your cooking or overwhelm your senses.

A Warm, Golden Glow

The light from a beeswax candle falls within the same spectrum as natural sunlight. It’s soft, grounding, and instantly creates a more peaceful atmosphere, especially in the darker months.

Sustainable by Nature

Our beeswax is sourced from a local, family-run apiary just northeast of the Twin Cities. It’s a renewable, biodegradable material that supports pollinators and avoids the petroleum base of paraffin or the industrial processing of soy.

Crafted with Intention

At Slow Burn, we filter the wax ourselves and test every candle to ensure the wick and wax work together in harmony. Our candles are free from dyes, added scents, and synthetics, just pure beeswax, carefully made to help you slow down and reconnect.
